rs232AsyncPortParityErrs

Module: RS-232-MIB

OID (symbolic): RS-232-MIB::rs232AsyncPortParityErrs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.33.3.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Total number of characters with a parity error, input from the port since system re-initialization and while the port state was 'up' or 'test'.

What is rs232AsyncPortParityErrs?

Counts characters received on this asynchronous port with a parity error since the last reboot (while the port was up or in test mode); a climbing count usually points to a parity/speed mismatch or a noisy cable.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.33.3.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RS-232-MIB::rs232AsyncPortParityErrs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.33.3.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RS-232-MIB::rs232AsyncPortParityErrs.1

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, routers/switches/terminal servers with serial console or modem ports with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the RS-232-MIB::rs232AsyncPortParityErrs OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, routers/switches/terminal servers with serial console or modem ports from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing RS-232-MIB as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type rs232AsyncPortParityErrs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the total number of characters with a parity error, input from the port since system re-initialization and while the port state was 'up' or 'test'. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
